    I agree thats what he's saying. Basically saying Kobe is a hardcore ultra competitive person.

    But why he would say "He’s not there to make me look better or make me better" and still WANT to choice LA as a primary destination is what I'm confused about. I'd think thatd be as much a turnoff as anything in regards to sports.

    That's a guy who takes at least 20 shots per game. We don't have enough balls to go around with Yao, Mac and Gil. He just simply doesn't fit at all.

    It's daydreamin' ...
    Who wouldn't play with T-Mac,Yao,Battier,Francis,Alston,James,Wells,Scola etc. ???
    But it's all about money and I rather see Cuban giving everything for Gil rather than Morey "deleting" players to free some salary space.
    But It's good to read.The only way we can get him is to turn on your playing consoles and play Live or 2K and trade for Gilbert.
    You can do it ;)

    Just put him in the corner with Yao and let him shoot one-handed threes.

    Myabe because of a couple of things. He knows Kobe wants to leave and will within the next 2 years, then he'll be the man in LA, which

    happens to be where he is from (Van Nuys)

    I think I've heard he only get's four hours of sleep a night. I think I would go insane.

    I would never say no to bringing in Gilbert here, he's no Scotty Pippen. ( Is that a curse word??!! :eek: ) But my bet is that he goes to LA if Kobe is still there.

    Gilbert Arenas would like to play for Houston if he opts out?

    There's no way Houston has nearly enough money to offer Arenas. Plus imagine all the ego clashing if he did come here.

    sign and trade?
    maybe if stevie franchise doesn't work out
    we could send him to his home town along with someone else?
    just the fact that he mentioned the rockets as title contenders in his blog is really cool

    Like whom? Why would the Wizards want Steve when Portland paid him 30MM not to play for them? And who else can the Rockets give up along with Steve o make a deal like that? Bonzi? He only has this year left with the Rockets anyway so that won't work.

    nice fit to the offense, but bad mix with the roster.

    This is the same dude that come out and say "my face will be on the cover for nba 2k8" when his team just lost to the cavs during the playoffs.

    Wasn't there already a thread on this? Anyways, I definitely wouldn't want him to be on our team. He's used to a one-man team and his mentality is fitting for a team like such. I don't think he would thrive so much right now with Adelman at the helm where passing is the name of the game. He's fun to watch, just not in our uniform.

    I don't think anyone should be surprised by this. We have a really strong team--at least on paper--and anyone who doesn't think that we're a contender should be shot. So I don't think it's out of the ordinary for him to say that at all. In fact him not mentioning us would be a sin.

    Both Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler have averaged nearly 20PPG last season. How is that a one man team?

    I'd like Gil to come over in ClutchCity but that isn't gonna happen.
    Simply not,plus we don't have no salary cap space for that kind of player.

    I think his style and mentality is a one-man team. He averaged 6 assists but then you have those games where he makes stupid comments like "I'm gonna drop 50 on _____ team" for some stupid revenge. That stuff isn't gonna fly here in Houston. Nobody cares about how your feelings are hurt by someone, you're gonna play team ball here in Houston.
